BYND dinner parties on film :)

Ps still here, just been cookin’!

No, like I don’t think you understand how much I love deviled eggs.

(I ate them hours after getting my wisdom teeth out and got dry sockets because of it but would still recommend eating deviled eggs all day, everyday.)

I would like to send a personal complaint to the person who suggested the idea that our phones remind us of where we were at “on this day” ______ years ago. It’s a painful and beautiful reminder of who and where we were in life.

Four years ago I was sharing a pot roast with my Airbnb host, Michael, who had so graciously invited me to join him for dinner. I had no idea what the next 8 months would bring living in Ireland. The people I’d meet, the dishes I’d make and the lasting imprint that that country and its’ memories would have on me. I had no idea that this meal would be the first of many experiences I’d want to recreate over these last four years.

May 2026 be another year spent with strangers, friends and family around my dinner table. Having food as the catalyst for conversations and deepening relationships. May I be reminded of the joy that food brings and the nourishment both to body and soul it leaves. May I be brought back to the humbleness and simplicity of a home cooked meal without and bells and whistles. Because sometimes, a pot roast and potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper is all you need.

“We should do a bruschetta board night.”

“You had me at bruschetta.”

Tonight consisted of experimenting with different fresh produce + watching . Aka the best Wednesday night ever.

1. Goat cheese with prosciutto, peaches, honey + basil (a personal fave)
2. Brie with pesto + a blackberry compote. (Honestly not good at all + would scratch the pesto + add sage into the compote next time, but hey that’s what’s trial + error is for ha)
3. Classic caprese with tomatoes + basil from the garden + fresh mozzarella
4. Lemon + rosemary goat cheese with roast beef + caramelized onions (another personal fave)

Ps thanks to the ever so talented .studios for her friendship + photo skills.

Pps, sorry for the mess I left in your kitchen.

“So since you love cooking, is your dream to have your own restaurant someday?”

Honestly no. What I love most about food is the people that it brings to the table + the conversations that are had.

One of my all time favorite memories was when I went to Belgium with my parents + we took the wrong train + ended up in some small town. The only place that was open was the local pub, so we took our bags across the train tracks + sat down for a drink. The bartender noticed that we obviously weren’t from in town, + offered to drive us to our Airbnb when he closed. We got to the Airbnb + thought we were going to find the key under the mat, let ourselves in + head to bed. What we didn’t realize, was that this was a super host + we were greeted with Leffe beers + chocolate by the most bubbly + welcoming host. What we also hadn’t realized was that there was another family staying in the same home from Barcelona. We stayed up until 3 am drinking Cava, + the host had made us fried muscles + cheese. We sat around her table with the other family talking about religion, taxes, minimum wage, life + everything in between. There were huge language barriers, but the common ground was food. I want nothing more that to cultivate organic experiences like this for people around a table that’s filled with good food + even better company.

“I’m planning a flower harvest with some friends this weekend to make jellies out of if you’re around”

My fingertips are dyed purple from spending the day picking the petals off of violets to be made into a simple syrup. Dandelion roots were being roasted in the oven (smells like brownies) for tea, magnolia blooms were being processed to be pickled, eggs were being blown to be naturally dyed from the petals picked. Today was so special and gave me a glimpse into what I see True Vine turning into someday ✨

*an actual conversation on the day of this shoot

“Do you have any photos of what the floral pieces will look like?” - .hanngel

“Unfortunately I don’t. I typically have no idea what I’m doing + just come up with it in the moment” -me

Anyone else work best under pressure + end up “winging” basically their entire life? Very thankful for fellow creatives who are patient + trust me with the outcomes!

Ps I can’t wait to post everyone of these photos from this shoot with .hanngel + !

To say I was shook at these photos from shoot in the Badlands would be an understatement... To say that I got tears in my eyes when I saw what all the photographers had captured would be v accurate.

May our eyes be opened to the realities we have overlooked for far too long.
May we never return to “normal.”
May we continue to educate, listen, learn, fight, donate + love.
May we seek to appreciate the beauty in ALL things the Creator has created
